You defined the setText(char[] name, char[] text) as nested function
in Box's constructor. Move it out to the class' scope.

Btw, 'public:' is not needed as class members are public by default.

Unlike in .NET winforms, you cannot set text for any control and
Control class does not have a setText property so if you don't plan to
use other controls than Text, declare the value type of the
associative array to be Text. Also I'm not sure that Composite has a
setTabList property. Please consult SWT reference.

And if I understand correctly you are going to use lots of textboxes.
If you are going to present a list or tabular data, it would be better
for performance and yourself to use a grid or list control whatever is
appropriate and available in DWT.

Why are you storing Text instances in an associative array and then 
accessing them by name? You are doing:

Box mybox = new Box(shell,DWT.SINGLE);
mybox.setText("No","wire");
mybox.setText("Content","Fishingline");

Than means that you know that Box has a "No" and "Content" Text. I 
recommend you to store them as public fields of Box class (or as 
properties, it's almost the same):

class Box {

   Text No;
   Text Date;
   Text Content;

   public:
     this (Composite parent ,int style ) {
       // ...

       No = new Text(box,DWT.LEFT);
       Date = new Text(box,DWT.LEFT);
       Content = new Text(box,DWT.LEFT);

       // ...
     }

}

That way, if you mistype "Content", "No" or "Date", you'll get a compile 
error, while in your approach, you'll get a runtime error. And also, if 
you use an IDE that offers autocompletion, you can do "box." and get No, 
Date and Content as suggestions.

The setText method, in this case, should be:

void setText(Text control, char[] text) {
   control.setText(text);
}
